New videos from Sonar 2011

It took me a while to upload these, but here they are! I wasn't impressed with Sonar Day Friday and Saturday, I thought the lineup was really poor, still I had a lot of fun! Sonar Night on Saturday on the other hand was amazing! Trying to remember who I saw seems almost impossible... To name a few (while looking back at the programme); Chris Cunningham, Underworld, Surgeon, Silent Servant, Africa Hitech, Paul Kalkbrenner, James Holden, Shakleton, Lucy... Didn't stay to see Shakleton for long, as I had seen him a few times before... Underworld was super nice; getting old, but still got it! Very excited to see Chris Cunningham that by the time I decided to see him when he last played in London, the gig was sold out... Paul Kalkbrenner is such a performer! He had everything needed for a closing act (even though he wasn't really the closing act); the big stage, the lighting, the attitude, and of course probably all the tracks from Berlin Calling. The crowd loved him! And I did too! After Paul Kalkbrenner, a couple of disappointing tracks from James Holden and off to see Silent Servant, who for me was perfect to end the festival, with a pretty industrial dark set.

Autechre - Second Bad Vilbel

Just came across this video and had to share it! The track is the first on the Avril Capre EP, released by Autechre on Warp in 1995 and the video was of course directed by the master of all... Chris Cunningham, who was scheduled to appear at the Roundhouse last February, but his performance was rescheduled for June 1st. You will be glad to know that tickets are still available!




Talking of Autechre I cannot not mention their new release Autechre EPs 1992-2002 WARPCD211 - 5 CDs, 47 tracks, 5hrs 39mins 59secs and what beautiful artwork! Release date is April 11th. Already got my WAV, but seriously cannot wait for the 'Deluxe CD'. One month to go...
